NiceHash

2 weeks ago

So, I've set up a couple of boxes here doing CPU mining on Nicehash. I'm getting about £1/day - or I would be if they actually ever connected reliably. The majority of the time, they sit there unable to connect to the pool.

I've tried getting the client to connect to different countries - in fact all of the machines are connecting to different locations, but really struggle with connecting reliably. But they do connect, so it's not an internet connection issue at this end. Anyone got any suggestions?

Also, I've just come across a place I can pick up some nVidia Quadro cards for about £20. I could choose between the FX1800 and the NVS440. Are these capable of mining? And if they are, assuming free electricity, does anyone have any idea what sort of performance they would give?

But this is it's normal status with it not being able to connect - ignore the 'Memory Alloc Failed' message - that's always happened even when it works properly. It's the connecting/socket closed errors that I can't work out:

And yes, behind a firewall but I administer it, and everything is whitelisted. Clients rubbing nicehash and all the addresses associated with the pools. If they weren't, it would never work, whereas this works sometimes.

nicehash seems to time out units really strictly - if you were to setup a monero wallet and use xmr-stak against a pool, the CPU mining seems to give you 30 minutes to return a result instead of nicehash giving 10. You then take your chances that someone else hasn't completed that work and you return stale or expired results, but for the OCD people - no errors in the miner terminal
